Two wounded Alaereen footsoldiers have been captured by Human forces. Veterans of the conflict, these Alaereen have taken thier share of Human prisoners in the past, and are intimately familiar with the kind of harmless but inappropriate and humiliating treatment that captive Humans are forced to endure. Things like [link] or [link] or even [link] . But now that the wheel has turned, they find themselves dreading what the Humans have in store for them.

...Well, maybe 'dreading' isn't quite the right word to use...

The Alaereen are part of the Legacy-Verse And just in case it isn't clear, the medic in the center--see the cross--is applying some sort of hight-tech spray-foam cast to wounds--one left arm, one right leg--to the giant aliens. Y'know, basic humanitarian tend-to-the-wounded stuff. So they don't bleed to death on the way to the prison camp.

Well, one of them will feel guilty! But as for 'better' treatment, that depends. Sure, they won't be casually manhandled, but their sheer size and the logistics of things will necessitate some degree harsh/unkind treatment. For instance, wounded or not, these girls are probably going to have to walk to the prison camp...

True, but there is a suttle but profound difference. Harsh/Unkind treatment for the lady's here is something that will only be occuring out of nessessity. When they had human prisoners, it was usually for the fun of the person giving the bad treatment. Like I said, Presumably there getting ready for a guilt trip.

Even when they're prisoners, wounded prisoners at that, you still manage to make the Alaerians provocative. The human soldiers might have the upper hand, but it looks like the Alaerians are going to make the most of it. The human on the far right with his gun dangling by the strap already appears to be somewhat enthralled.

Not every male is as taken with the alaerin as you or me There are plenty of xenophobes or otherwise begrudged humans through out the ranks. hell, as grizzly as it might be, I'm sure there's a gunner for a tank out there, keeping watch over alaerin captives that is just waiting for a convincing enough sudden movement that he won't be court martialed for war crimes.

On the flipside, I have a particular alaerin character in the works that is quite inverse of any alaerin I've written for so far. She is most certainly not a fan of humans, of any kind.
